    Barclay's a clueless tool.

      That's the very worst kind.

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

        He's clearly getting a bit bitter. He was one of the journos championing Hodgson's cause, and as you rightly say, he's probably a mate of his. Live by the sword, die by the sword Barclay.

        Anyway, anyone know of that other Barclay chap? Neil might know him.

            Hodgson is slowly building on the myth that there's a lot of good English managers around. Might help them with their search for Capello's successor.

              I don't know what you're talking about, Nigey.

              If it's any help, I am aware of the Barclay Brothers. IIRC they own the Daily Telegraph, are famously litigious and were the subject of the eponymous song by David Bowie.

                  Remember Barclay said on Twitter around October time that everyone slagging off Hodgson would be humiliated by Christmas, and that his mate would have us near the top of the league.





                  What an absolute spastic.

                      From the offal "Steven is training hard and is desperate to get back playing, but with my record of saying things and then getting them wrong, I think I am best being cagey and saying let's wait and see."

                            And of course there's Barclay James Harvest.

                              Football world in shock as Cascarino makes valid point



                              Tony Cascarino has lambasted Roy Hodgson’s managerial reign at Anfield, suggesting the under-fire Liverpool boss is failing the club’s rich footballing traditions.

                              The former Republic of Ireland international claims the results under the ex-Fulham manager have not been good enough, but even more alarmingly for the club’s fans, are the manner in which these poor results have been achieved.

                              Citing the drab 0-0 draw against Utrecht on Wednesday night, the much maligned football pundit believes Hodgson’s tactics are far too similar to those he implemented at Craven Cottage, and criticises him for turning the footballing institution that is Liverpool into a “bigger-budget Fulham”.

                              Cascarino told the Times: “Any Liverpool manager has a duty to play with a certain style: fluent, attractive, attacking, passing football.

                              “Roy Hodgson is not only failing with the results, he's failing in his duty to the club's traditions and to the fans, and that's a pretty serious combination. If you haven't got style, you at least need results.

                              “The goalless draw against Utrecht in the Europa League on Wednesday confirmed that Hodgson's cautious tactics and conservative attitude have permeated the whole squad: because he picked a second-string team and the football was as unambitious and unexciting as it is when the first XI take to the field.

                              He continued: “Nine away games, one win and six losses is dreadful. That's relegation form, and even if you could argue that Liverpool no longer have a squad good enough for the top four, they ought to be challenging for the top six.

                              “It's not a new problem for Hodgson. With Fulham his record was: 2008-09, three away league wins; 2009-10, one away league win. It has to be the manager's tactics.

                              “Hodgson has quickly turned Liverpool into a bigger-budget Fulham: they go out, away from home, not to lose. They should be going out to win.

                              “Imagine Manchester United or Arsenal playing such dull football, given their reputation and past success.

                              “It wouldn't be tolerated. Nor should it be at Anfield even if the club isn't the force it once was.

                              “That's no excuse for failing to entertain and failing to act like the big team Liverpool still are.

                              He added: “Hodgson remains inflexible, conservative, old-fashioned.”

                                Ouch, that will surely strike a chord with Mr. Hodgson. I'm awaiting with baited breathe for his PC later today (hopefully some journo will push him on this).

                                Why is this article referring to Cascarino as 'much maligned' though?
